20 | REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Ngāti Hauā Iwi Trust T T Sue Russell Iwi enhances its strategic vision Ngāti Hauā’s rohe stretches over a large part of eastern Waikato, from the Waikato side of the Kaimai Range, through Matamata, Cambridge, Morrinsville, Horotiu to Maungatautari. Chief Executive for Ngāti Hauā Iwi Trust, Lisa Gardiner, says that several further positive steps are currently being taken to achieve the strategic visions of Iwi, extending across Whānau, Whenua and Whare, the pillars upon which the work of the Trust is centred. Ngāti Hauā’s rohe stretches over a large part of eastern Waikato, from the Waikato side of the Kaimai Range, through Matamata, Cambridge, Morrinsville, Horotiu to Maungatautari. While the Trust is headquartered in Morrinsville, that footprint embraces a significant number of Marae, each carrying its own aspirations to better the lot for its people. “To support our ability to provide pathway’s forward for these communities we have a commercial arm, Te Waharoa Investments, who seek ways to create income streams that, in turn, go toward an array of projects,” Lisa says. Two of these are housing projects, following a housing survey conducted in October 2021 to better understand what are the whānau needs. • Residential • Commercial • Rural • 24hr - 7 Day Service Proud to be preferred electricians for Ngati Haua Iwi Trust www.laserelectrical.co.nz “Totally Dependable” 0800 742 2846p. 07 889 3344 m. 0274 927 133
